Dogs are not born dangerous — they are shaped by the hands that raise them.
After watching the Panorama: Dangerous Dogs – Is the Ban Working? documentary, it’s hard not to notice how one-sided the narrative feels. We’re shown the worst outcomes, the most tragic cases, and the dogs involved in serious incidents — but not the thousands of well-trained, well-loved dogs who live peacefully every day.
Yes, attacks are devastating. No one is denying that. But what we’re not seeing are the thousands of good dogs, raised right, living peacefully every single day. Dogs like Meko.
The fear, the stigma, the uncertainty — it’s exhausting. Loving a dog you know is kind and safe, while watching the world be told they’re dangerous, is heartbreaking.
Responsible ownership, education, and accountability are what truly make the difference. Breed alone is not a reliable predictor of behaviour — environment, training, and the actions of owners matter far more.
Legislation should not be enacted to say which dogs people cannot have, but rather which people cannot have dogs.
Because this ban hasn’t just targeted a breed — it’s torn through families, created fear, and punished responsible owners and dogs who have done nothing wrong.
I’ve stopped hoping the ban will be lifted. Instead, I’ll always make sure Meko has a life worth living. Because while the law sees a label, I see my dog—and it’s on me to make sure he feels safe, loved, and never punished for something he doesn’t understand.
So please — to the media — start telling the full story.
Stop focusing solely on bully breeds.
Stop fuelling fear and maybe start promoting responsibility.
